@psychoak - I think the point is that you get an Akkan / Progenitor / Jarassul for the Colonize, not for its other abilities. I can see that the other abilities are good, but for the same reason you never get an Akkan without learning Colonize, I don't think these other abilities are sufficiently good to warrant using the Akkan over other capital ships. @Darvin3 - Well if colony frigates become completely depleted of antimatter after three jumps, then they only fail to be a viable opt

I've seen Missile Barrage before as well, it was a rather funny game because my brother and I were losing, but we still laboured on, destroying fleet after fleet (we were playing 2v4) and trying to survive. Then the Marza walks into his fleet and uses Missile Barrage and we give up shortly after. Lol :D I think one reason the AI doesn't use these ultimates often is because they don't get to level 6. The AI doesn't conserve its capital ships very well, and especially if you are attacki

I play Sins of a Solar Empire vanilla (that is, no Diplomacy / Entrenchment), and usually play Advent. Judging from the posts on this forum it seems colony capital ships are generally the ships most players start with. I used one myself a lot, but after trying out other ships first I don't get why anymore. So what are the advantages of using a colony capital ship first? Although the colony capital ships - especially the Progenitor - have good support abilities, if that is all they're

Well if I assault his planets that early in the game he'd be getting reinforcements easily, may have static defenses and my own reinforcements take quite a while to get there (if they even get there, because the Kortul's flying around my home base). Definitely worried I won't win such a fight. Because the Kortul is bombarding my planets as well, I'd be earning less $$$. Also what if he doesn't attack my planets but simply follows me around with an invulnerable ship? He'd be taking my

[quote]That is not a large fleet at all; that's actually a very small fleet, and I wouldn't engage a high combat-value capital ship like the Kortul with such a small force. High combat value capital ships are risky to engage with small fleets like this, and the Kortul is perhaps the most deadly of all. Your only real option is to lead with Halcyon against Vasari. Focus on his frigates and try to isolate the Kortul. You can take it down if your fleet is large enough and it doesn'

I'm playing Sins of a Solar Empire vanilla (i.e. no Diplomacy, no Entrenchment, but with the latest patches). The games I play are generally 1v1 on small or at most medium maps; I have however played one 2v2 game and ran into the same problem. These games are against another human player. I tend to play Advent, although I can play other races as well. I'm quite new to Sins of a Solar Empire multiplayer; I've played less than 10 games. So the problem is my opponent picks a Kortul first
